Quality of hire is a post-hire measure of the value a new employee delivers through job performance, sustained tenure, and other role-relevant outcomes. It connects recruiting and selection decisions to results after the person joins.<\/p>\n
There is no universal formula. Organizations may combine performance ratings, retention, time to productivity, hiring-manager satisfaction, new-hire satisfaction, skills match, team contribution, or business results. The components should reflect the role and be measured at a defined point, such as six or twelve months after start. A sales hire may be assessed against ramp time and quota performance; an executive may require strategic milestones, stakeholder feedback, and retention over a longer period.<\/p>\n
Quality of hire is not the same as interview score, candidate quality, or cultural similarity. It uses evidence available after employment begins.<\/p>\n
